About

I have been knitting and crocheting since I was 4 years old. I have Aspergers (high functioning Autism) and my hands that were always fidgeting, freaked my father out. My mother taught me to knit and crochet, to keep my hands busy. It works to this day!

My mom never taught me to use a pattern. Everything we made, were our own designs. If my mom had the same technology we have now, she would have been famous. That is where my passion for designing comes from. Add to that my obsession with yarn and natural fibre, and you will begin to understand my world.

Because of the Aspergers, my social interaction normally ends up with people being offended, and me scratching my head wondering why. Please keep that in mind; I seldom mean to offend. It just happens.

I am a Christian. If you are not religious, don’t sweat it. We can agree to disagree and still craft together. I don’t walk around Bible-bashing people. There are a few non-believers in this group for whom I have a lot of time, so don’t worry about it.

I have four blogs you can follow:
